A man arrested in the killing of a Baltimore tech entrepreneur was suspected of raping a woman days before and was already under surveillance, police sayMorning Rundown: Biden impeachment inquiry's first hearing, Powerball jackpot nears $1 billion, and Kansas City's love story with Taylor SwiftThe mother of a man suspected of killing a Baltimore tech CEO urged him to surrender, fearing police would try to kill himRep.
Referring to the current rule allowing one person to call for a motion to vacate vote, Gimenez said,"I think it's a little bit insane. ... We cannot continue to govern this way." Clyburn, the assistant Democratic leader and former majority whip, also added that McCarthy made it"virtually impossible" for Democrats to save him from being ousted because of his on-air criticisms of them the day after they voted to support his effort to pass a short-term government spending bill. Clyburn said nearly all Democrats went ahead and voted for the bill even though it didn't address some of their key priorities, like Ukraine aid.
“If we're going to continue to have clowns like Matt Gaetz as part of the Republican conference, as part of this Congress, then you're going to have to have rules in place that prevent him from doing his charade every single week,” Graves said. "I think we need to be very thoughtful about the role, the responsibilities and the authority that he can exercise in that position, because I would love to find us, to be in a situation, where we can move forward on appropriations bills and other things right now," Graves said.
Scalise added what he told the Texas delegation:"Texans, like the rest of our conference, we all have strong passions about getting our border secure, about getting our spending under control and about fighting for families who are struggling."Democratic Whip Katherine Clark said her caucus would support the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to fill the vacant speakership.
The far-right congressman also pointed to his work on immigration legislation and his role heading the Judiciary Committee. "Let me say this to the next speaker of the House, whomever that may be: Think carefully about what happened to your predecessors before trying to coddle the hard right," he said.
"I guarantee you, Ken Buck and Matt Gaetz is not one of those people," Buck said when asked if he would run."I might get three votes.""We need a conservative fighter to stand up strong to the Biden White House and Democrat Senate, and I can’t think of anyone better than Jim Jordan," Banks told NBC News.
